C fffil,-wr' In giving The Falcon Times its fourteenth All-American rating, one judge dubbed the newspaper the New York Times of junior college publications. Your excellence, wrote a judge from the Associated Collegiate Press, Hforces me to say that I think you turn out one of the best college papersl have seen - including four-year college papers as wellfi This was the year when the North Campus population reached 18,500, more students than many universities. To cope with this much news material, the Falcon Times, published weekly, moved from a f our-page to an eight-page format on a permanent basis. It was also the year that saw the rise of student power at Miami-Dade North. Through straight news, editorials, columns, and interviews, the Times aimed at giving complete, unbiased coverage to all sides involved. During the year, the newspaperls editorials 'ii' S' consistently spoke for more student freedom, while emphasizing the need for working through established channels. Subjects of Falcon Times editorials included fee payment by mail, voluntary attendance of classes, an ombudsman to represent the students, and support of the Student Bill of Rights. Sir Cedrick of the Phi Delta pledge class took the 1968 Falcon Times Turtle Race by storm. After winning his preliminary heat in a record 54 seconds, the footlong reptile broke his own record in the final heat in two seconds. Art Ortez, Cedricksls trainer, and Debbie Ballow, the new Miss Turtle, accepted the winner's trophy, a sterling china soup bowl.
